Canals of Britain is the most comprehensive and absorbing survey of
Britain's canal network ever published. It provides a fascinating
insight into the linked up waterways as well as the isolated cuts
and quiet waters which may not be fully navigable by larger craft.
Infinitely varied, it passes picturesque open countryside, wild
moorland, coastal harbours, historic industrial buildings, modern
city centres, canalside public houses and abundant wildlife. Stuart
Fisher looks at every aspect of the canals - their construction,
rich history, stunning scenery, heritage, incredible engineering,
impressive architecture and even their associated folklore,
wildlife and art. Enticing photographs give a flavour of each place
and places of interest close to the canals are included. Each canal
is intricately mapped. For those who are keen to explore that
little bit further, the book goes to points beyond which others
usually turn back, with information on little-known parts of the
system, offering a new insight into this country's unique,
surprising and beautiful canal network. Attractive, inspiring and
also a practical guide, Canals of Britain has proved very popular
with walkers, cyclists, narrowboaters, canoeists, kayakers and
others wanting to get the most out of Britain's canals. This fourth
edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the ever-changing
landscape of Britain's canals, and includes many new colour
photographs to help bring them to life.
